What do you guys do when you see a cop??? I'm driving on the freeway and within 10miles 3 cops have passed me, most people react by slowing down or just pretend that they don't see them lol me? Idk why but I always look at them as they're passing me, some say hi some don't.

I slow down and roll down my tinted windows haha. If I'm at a red light, I will probably look over at them.

I got pulled over for tinted windows and no front plate once, now I don't have tinted windows and still no front plate, but I have my euro plate in the rear and they don't even say anything. Lol

My old car was a tad bit loud so I would always push the clutch in to coast past them.

Same here, I can even be doing the speed limit or under and I'm still going to have that mini-heart attack and hit the brakes.

If they pull onto the street behind me i downshift to slow down without throwing up break lights, If i see them coming from a distance I roll down my tints, If they're driving on the highway I'll pass them doing no more then 5-10mph over the speed limit.

The worst is when they get behind you in town late at night when there's not many other cars on the road. It's like they're looking for any bullshit reason to pull you over.

I definitely don't like seeing them while I'm in my drivers seat. I slow down and upshot to a quieter gear. Then hope I don't get pulled over for having no front plate, tinted windows or too loud of a car. Damn CA cops and highway patrolmen are sneaky.

I roll down my window and give them the finger. Nah, I turn into the nearest fast food place to avoid them.

This one here is sooo true! One even followed me out of his jurisdiction, and made a U turn with his Blue lights on....SMH

For some reason my heat rate automatically goes up to 150bpm when I see cops while driving and my adrenaline levels hit the roof...

Happens to me all the time, The towns around me are so small if they tail you a couple blocks you'll be out of one town and into the next. I'm always afraid that I'm gonna get pulled over for something stupid like tints, especially at night because they look so much darker then during the day.

This. Braking only makes it more obvious. Rolling down the windows near them is practically giving yourself away. Cops in both my home and work area have absolutely nothing to do so people like me who are tinted out are their prime targets.

I dont like traffic cops...they are all on power trips. The SWAT guys I know are ok so I assume the traffic cops are pissed off b/c they'd rather be doing something else. I only slow down if my radar detector or laser jammer goes off.

Wrong. If you're speeding the best thing to do is slow down quickly before they radar or laser your speed. Trust me it works

I only roll them down if I spot them coming head on from a distance, or when I'm in a town that I know is a stickler for stupid shit like that. Otherwise Ill open my sunroof visor if I have time to let as much light in as possible.

Went to pick up my brother one night in a town I knew was filled with dick cops, rolled down my windows as I was getting off the highway, mind you it was like mid-March so still pretty cool outside. After stopping at the first light in town a cop pulls behind me, radar's me, and follows me through the town until I finally pulled over to pick up my brother. I was on the lookout and still had no idea where that cop came from. No doubt in my mind I would have gotten pulled over if my windows were up.

It's always good to have an idea of what the town cops are like before you roll through.
